[Quality of life in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator from a salutogenic perspective : A qualitative study in cardiologic health service research].

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEvidence on disease-related quality of life (DRQoL) of patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) has been described heterogeneously. Disease-specific measures of DRQoL in ICD patients are lacking.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to gain a broader understanding of long-term DRQoL in ICD patients. Special focus was placed on stressors and cognitive management strategies in everyday life.
methodsData assessment was performed via semistructured, guideline-based interviews. The monocentric qualitative study included 10 ICD patients with primary and secondary prophylactic indication and 3 cardiologists. The qualitative analysis used the salutogenesis model (Antonovsky) as a framework.
resultsThe interviews show that most patients do not experience a prominent limitation in their quality of life through the ICD. We found that patients focus on their individual coping strategies to handle the ICD indication with a sense of coherence, aiming at understanding their situation and giving it meaning. Whether the DRQoL is modified positively or negatively after ICD implantation depends on individual factors of resilience and factors of coherence.
conclusionsWe established a salutogenic model for the assessment of DRQoL in patients with ICDs. A stable DRQoL on ICD implantation and follow-up could be achieved if patients at high risk (small sense of coherence and reduced resilience) are identified and their individual lifestyles are taken into account.
